This Numen makes it impossible for its victims to regain Willpower without fulfilling their Vice. While under the spirit’s curse, they no longer are able to regain Willpower by fulfilling their Virtue — this Numen does not prevent the virtuous act, but there is no mechanical reward. Fulfilling a Vice restores Willpower as normal. Satisfying a Vice that also leads to a degeneration roll returns all spent Willpower, whether the degeneration roll succeeds or fails. Spend three points of Essence and roll Power + Finesse in an extended and contested roll; each roll represents one hour. If the spirit gains the requisite successes between dusk and dawn, the victim is forced onto Damnation’s Path. The number of successes needed by the spirit is equal to the victim’s current Morality times three. To fight off the spirit’s influence, the victim rolls Resolve + Composure + Supernatural Tolerance. Her target is the spirit’s Power + Rank. If a spirit encounters its ban during the duration of Damnation’s Path, the curse is lifted and the Numen fails. Encountering a ban during the “conversion” process likewise ends the struggle. A victim who successfully fights off the spirit’s curse (via ban or otherwise) is immune to this Numen for one lunar month.
